Riven needs a nerf

The7RedArrow·Oct 21, 2015·7 votes·689 views

In my league of legends history, I have gone against many riven's and there all broken even if they feed they are still broken. let me start with her ability, she is able to move like half way across the map and then go back to her turret unharmed plus she gets a stun and a shield that can almost tank 2 tower hits when jarvan's shield cant even tank a hit from a red buff. i think you creators of this game should go against a riven for a few games before you release her. no hate btw way im being foreal. i think you guys should take away her shield and give her less distance and maybe shorten the ult if you want

I sense that you're overexaggerating here a little bit... Riven's shield can't tank 2 tower hits... and of course not from the tier 1 tower.... her shield only lasts for 1.5 seconds... her kit isnt OP... you just have to play different against her... Play safe and dont get close... She is a great champion in the right hands... but that goes for anyone... Riven has plenty of counter play...

with the way u described her you can make anyone sound like that. please understand riven is not broken if u play safe. shes an agressive champ and you need to respect that. if ur nto willing to respect that, then dont complain about her. its like u going vs irelia and thinking u have a chance of winning the lane when the lanes been decided by riot balancing. but no matter how many times i say irelia is broken i get downvoted by the bronze irelia mains.

There are so many broken things, but people won't let the thread see the light of day by RIOT so they downvote it to hell to make sure it gets off the front page asap. I've even asked people to explain to me why something is okay if they decide to downvote me and yet they dont. They just downvote and move on, they keep their freelo and you feel defeated.

riven is nto freelo. jesus christ shes played by 4 mains in challenger. she is beyond balanced. if u have half a brain shes easyas hellto beat. pick gnar or malphite or irelia or fucking darius OR fucking GAREN. these champs destroy her without even using brain cells.

In your own words I want you to justify everything about her kit. From the cooldowns that are barely cooldowns to the highest ad aoe in the game.. to the lack of resources that she has to manage. Instead of insulting people when you don't agree with them. How bout being a figure to look up to? Part of the reason I don't mind staying bronze is because I don't feel like climbing the ladder just to meet people like you. Not worth it in my opinion :P

i main irelia she is not broken..... plus you sound like a riven main .i guess everyone has different opinions idk i feel like she has to be nerf because it's not balance for a champion to dive me level 3 alone and get out with more than 50% of it's heal

i am a rivenmain. but ive went vs many rivens even before she ws nerfed and i realzied the only reason i lose lane vs her is because i misplayed. she was nerfed hard. u have to respect her level spikes. just like any other champ. level 1-3 she has best spikes.

Yosuke ApperuOct 21, 20151 votes

You got it all wrong friend, Riven power spikes are at level 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18. Be sure to respect these power spikes.

Step one: Grab popcorn Step two: Taunt "Riven isn't broken, scrub, just annoying- and easy as fuck to kill!" Step three: Insult main "Irelia ain't broken, but she sure is weak without a specific single item!" Step four: Wear shades and cleverly counter every argument this guy makes with his horrid spelling and grammar.

And Riot said she will get one. However, I will bet money that it's a worthless nerf like Ahri got.

Yosuke ApperuOct 21, 20151 votes

Ahri is still healthier than her pre deathgrasp removal imo. She's more mobile. But back then she had much higher damage.

LuggOct 21, 20151 votes

I agree that she is more balanced now than she was then. That doesn't mean she is balanced though. She has been God tier mid pretty much since release.

well lets look what she has, 3 q's and an e for mobility, short but paired with boots has amazing distance, you cannot farm safely with a riven, she just dash stun combos you without retaliation. My problem with riven is her AD scaling shield from ONLY MOVING, and the fact she has an INSTANT AOE STUN.
